Missing Joan Fabrics? This is your place!…read more My partner wanted to pick up some fabric and thread. Almost all of the stores have faded away in favor of Amazon/ online. To me this was a memory of being out with my mom in the old days before Bezos. All sorts of little party favors and decorations. We walked out with thread, cloth and Mardi Gras decorations. Great service and I don't think the prices were too bad. All that was missing was mothball smells. Long Beach parking on the street, maybe a quick park by the bank across the street. ****There's a few spaces off the alley in back.

He seemed extremely passionate in what he does! Giving a low rating just because of our experience with front desk staff. We come in super cordial just to be met with stank attitudes. A few weeks after our session, we called the place to follow up on our pieces and the woman on the phone sounded rude about us asking about it. We went to pick up our pieces recently and the woman at the front desk definitely sounded like the one we talked to on the phone, same voice and same unwelcoming attitude. As if our presence ruined her day or us picking up our pieces was such a drastic request for her to do.

There is a cashier who I have experienced more than once who has been rude. She knows I come there a lot and she makes it seem I'm stealing a card because I forgot my pin one time. The store is okay. It's getting a bit pricey but still affordable.

Really fun and cool experience! I like that they have a lot of items available (figures,…read moredinnerware, decorations). Just be warned basically EVERYTHING is above $30 alongside the studio fee of ~ $15. Depending on what you go with, it's definitely good to have an idea of what you want to do (design or color wise) before you go, so it doesn't eat into your limited time. I like that they have examples of how the paint will look before and after firing, alongside brightness/layer (on the wall). I picked something practical and that I can actually use to eat:) It took about 10 days to be done so we could pick up.

I mean, I'd love to come here by myself just to relieve the everyday stress. The girls there were very friendly and helpful. Be sure to make reservations because I can see why it gets busy. You'll have 2 hours to paint and they will let you know when it's ready for pick up! Thinking about this little spot makes me want to go back. There is metered parking you can use the app to pay and add more if needed or find a spot in the neighborhoods. It's a very busy area and a lot of car and foot traffic due to all the local eats and shops, plus the beach around the corner!

Dainty Disco is such a cute and unique craft studio in Long Beach, especially for decoden glue…read morecrafts! There aren't many places like this in the area, so it's a fun and creative spot to check out. I found them on Instagram and decided to go with some friends. I've been to two craft studios that are similar, so my review is based on experiences from other places. The booking process was super easy--you reserve online with a $10 nonrefundable deposit, which goes toward the final cost of your craft. When we went at 3 PM on a Friday, we were the only group there, so we had the whole space to ourselves. Free street parking was available right in front of the store, which was a plus! Just a heads-up, it's located in an older part of Long Beach, so keep that in mind. The studio itself is absolutely adorable - very girly and charming. It's a smaller space but seems like it could accommodate a few larger groups at a time, so if you're planning to go with a big party, I'd recommend inquiring ahead of time. One thing I really appreciated is that there's no per-person studio fee. The craft prices ranged from around $15-$45, which is similar to other craft studios I've been to. You can decorate a variety of items like jewelry boxes, mirrors, photo frames, claw clips, phone cases, and glass cups. There was a nice selection of beads, charms, glitter, and other craft supplies. Their website and Instagram list monthly specials, and this month's Hello Kitty and Sonny Angel-inspired phone buddies were adorable. The owner was incredibly sweet, and you can tell she puts a lot of love into her business. She originally started Dainty Disco as a gift shop, so there's still a small retail section with cute merchandise available for purchase. A couple of minor things could be improved. The lighting inside the studio wasn't the best--it was a cloudy day, which didn't help, but some additional overhead lighting would have been useful for crafting. Also, a few craft options were sold out; for example, they were out of the larger heart jewelry boxes and only had one smaller one left. I think a section on the website that lists the options for crafts with pictures would have been helpful in guiding customers ahead of time for their choices. Overall, we had a great time, and it was nice to support a small business! They also host monthly craft meet-ups, which I'd love to check out in the future. If you're looking for a fun and creative activity in Long Beach, I definitely recommend giving Dainty Disco a visit and I'm down to come back!

I loved my experience! Such a cute concept for a business and loved that it was woman owned. I took…read moremy daughter for a play date with her friend, and I ended up making my own photo frame and encouraged the other mom to stay and participate. I'm already a pretty artsy person so this was right up my alley. My only feedback would be that I wish there were more beads and charms to decorate. I feel like the selection was a little slim and that could have very well been because we came a week after Halloween and perhaps it was a busy time? Regardless, the place was decorated so cute and the two hour time slot that I booked was exclusively for us, which I thought was really nice. Another note- the number on yelp is not updated and there are two addresses that come up when you search via google maps. Make sure you are going to the right location!

In the year of 2025 you'd think people would stop judging customers based on how they look and…read moretheir skin color, but apparently not here. I'd been wanting to check out their ornaments for two weeks, and honestly? Total disappointment. I was browsing, minding my business, looked over at my boyfriend (who is Samoan) and behind him is an employee straight up GLARING at us. Leaning on the counter, full scowl, literally watching us like we were doing something wrong. I work in customer service, I know exactly what that look means. At that point I didn't even WANT to buy anything. I still said thank you and she hit me with the smuggest, fakest "have a nice day." Don't give judgmental racist people your money. I went to Billings across the street instead, they were actually nice, welcoming, and I found an ornament I liked. This place? Nope!

I love Michael's…read more But unfortunately, I don't even bother with the only one thats close to me due to the employee's that work that store.... They are ridiculous with profiling people!! They think everybody is in there to steal so they'll either blatantly follow you around or take the more low-key approach and you'll notice they just so happen to start stocking shelves in the same aisle you're browsing in. They also like to do this thing where they announce over the P.A. system "Long Beach P.D. - Line One" to make you think they have called the police on you to get people out of the store!

I truly do not have enough words to describe how unbelievably awful our experience has been with…read morethe custom framing department at Michael's. Specifically, with Kristen. My sweet, very patient mother has now had to make FOUR separate trips to fix a painting they originally damaged and incorrectly framed. Each time, instead of taking accountability or offering even the most basic apology, Kristen somehow found multiple different things to blame -- none of them being the store. We dropped the piece off for the FINAL time in December. December. We never received a call. Not once. After multiple attempts to reach the store by phone (which went unanswered or unreturned), we finally had to physically go today (in February) to see if the artwork was complete. And instead of even a simple, "We're so sorry for the inconvenience," we were met with callous, passive-aggressive energy and the most aggressively condescending tone I have ever encountered in a retail setting. No ownership. No apology. No professionalism. Just attitude. Shame on you, Kristen! I have genuinely never dealt with someone so unhelpful and unprofessional in all my years at any store anywhere. It was shocking. We will absolutely never bring another piece here again as long as she is employed. There are too many businesses that value their customers to waste time being treated like an inconvenience for expecting basic competence and courtesy. Save yourself the stress and take your artwork elsewhere.

Arrived 10 mins early and she was willing to start my session. Class is only 4 people total at a time. MUST call far in advance for BSG - Beginning Stained Glass class. Val explained step by step and showed demonstration when needed. A bit pricey but lots of tools needed. For 2 people it was $170, so $85 pp. I would be interested to take ASG = Advanced Stained Glass class in a future date. Bring something to drink, snacks and dress comfortable. I do wish there were more templates to choose from and more glass colors to choose from. Parking lot isn't an issue.
